After unloading the goods, unpacking the boxes, and lifting the car cover, a royal blue Aston Martin DBS appeared in front of us. It was very cool and handsome, a supercar that both men and women would like.
After inspecting the car and finding no problems, Su Ran signed for the freight and chatted with the driver. The driver assured Su Ran that there were absolutely no scratches. He often delivered valuable items and had never had any problems for more than ten years. He had even picked up a person before.
Such a big truck can carry one person?
"Who is it?"
"Guan Gong."
"Oh, so that picture of Guan Gong on the internet is you."
Huh?
Su Ran suddenly had an idea, and immediately solved the doubt that had been bothering him for more than ten days - 'What treasure should be placed in the five-meter-high glass curtain wall indoors'?
It’s not okay to pose as Guan Gong with his eyes open, because he will kill people if he opens his eyes.
After seeing the driver off, Su Ran held his chin and stood by the glass curtain wall, thinking for a long time before finally figuring out what to put in.
Fighting Buddha!
There are almost no jade stones that are 2 meters x 2 meters or four or five meters high.
There are wood carvings.
So Su Ran personally prepared some snacks that night and invited Qi Shan to dinner to reminisce about the past and talk about this matter.
"What? Hiss~ I heard that Zhao Benshan spent 16 million yuan to make the world's largest wooden lion, 14.5 meters long, 5 meters high, and weighing 39 tons. You want a Fighting Buddha statue that's five meters tall and nearly two meters wide. It's probably the largest in the world."
A developer took a deep breath. Qi Shan is rich and worth tens of billions, but that doesn't mean he has tens of billions in cash on his card. It's all fake, and it's all company stock prices and valuations of various industries.
Those who play with cash flow are the strong ones.
To be honest, Qi Shan admired Su Ran very much for buying this house for 67 million yuan, and investing nearly 10 million yuan in it one after another. Now he wants to buy a big one to put behind the glass curtain wall for him to appreciate.
He really knows how to enjoy life and have fun.
"Okay, I'll find it for you."
"Thank you very much, I'll treat you to a meal then."
"You're welcome."
Two days later.
Qi Shan was very efficient. Two days later, when Su Ran left for the 121st class, he called. The instructor stared at him and didn't dare to answer the call. He only returned the call after he came down.
Qishan used his connections in Myanmar to find a Burmese golden camphor tree that was the right size for Su Ran, and the color was very authentic. He sent a picture to Su Ran, who took a look and found the golden color very beautiful, very suitable for Sun Wukong after he became the Fighting Buddha.
When it reaches this size, it cannot be measured according to market conditions. The seller sets a price and the buyer bargains, and finally buys it for 11 million. This is not the final price. It cost more than 800,000 to dig it out from the deep mountains and forests of Myanmar, transport it out, and send it to China.
Adding the import value-added tax of 17%, Su Ran spent a total of more than 13 million.
However, it is not a loss. There are fewer and fewer woods of this size. If the later design is perfect and the carving is also great, even if Su Ran stops playing with it and wants to sell it, the price will more than double.
The more rich people play with things, the more valuable they become.
The wood needs to adapt to the local climate to prevent cracking. Su Ran drove a Martin to rent a factory in the suburbs to store the wood, and also hired people from a wood processing factory to dry the wood.
While undergoing military training and fiddling with wood, Su Ran lost a few pounds. The workers didn't know he was so young. What was the point of fiddling with this big and thick piece of wood every day instead of fiddling with the girls?
You can’t imagine the happiness of rich people.
The next step is to find a master to design the shape of the Fighting Buddha. Su Ran can draw, but designing wood carvings is like a world of difference, so he is not good at it.
Qi Shan looked at the big and thick wood without saying anything. He was worried that if the person he hired didn't design it well and it turned out to be a failure, it would affect their friendship.
So in the following days, Su Ran racked his brains to find someone to design it. Until the end of the 20-day military training, he happened to see a treasure appraisal program while lying in the dormitory. A collector brought his collection to the experts for appraisal. It was a statue of Guanyin sitting on a lotus.
When the experts heard that it was designed and carved by master Shan Shaoqing, they immediately gave it high praise.
Su Ran immediately searched for Shan Shaoqing on the Internet. It turned out that he was Shan Zhentian’s father. As expected, the artistic attainments of the master of Chinese painting were indeed quite high.
Although Su Ran is good at painting, that is only his skill. His accomplishments are indeed lacking, and he needs to cultivate them on his own.
The introduction says that Shan Shaoqing stopped writing after his wife became a widower, which is a pity.
However, Su Ran felt that only Shan Shaoqing could control this piece of wood.
Otherwise, it would be like the lyrics of Wukong's song [What use do I have for this iron rod?]
After thinking about it, Su Ran decided to fly to Hangzhou during the National Day holiday to visit Shan Shaoqing and give it a try.
Before that, one thing was to complete the three-day military training, and two, the four "troublemaker" sisters were coming in the next two days.
This was agreed upon before. When Su Ran's military training is about to end, and you're so tired, they'll come and relax with you...
I can’t say I’m relaxed, but I’m definitely tired.
